However, there will always be instances where factual peculiarities will take a case outside of the provisions of the Signature Authority Guide. In those instances, you are strongly urged to contact the Office of Chief Counsel, Real Property Division, Right-of-Way Section, before completing the transaction. Moreover, it is important to remember that any time you rely on documentation from the grantor to determine the proper grantor and signatory, e.g., corporate resolution, death certificate, corporate by-laws, etc., you must provide a copy of that documentation to Central Office along with the acquisition documents. Also, transactions involving purchasers under installment sales contracts as well as life estates, while not as commonplace as the transactions covered in-depth here, warrant special attention. For these types of transactions, ALL interested parties must be listed in the deed as grantors. Who is required to sign will depend on the status of the grantor(s). i Appendix F-Signature Authority Guide Publication 378 CHAPTER 1 INDIVIDUALS 1.01 MARRIED INDIVIDUALS 1 A tenancy by the entirety exists when property, either real or personal, is held jointly by a husband and wife. 2 Neither spouse, acting independently, may sever the estate by conveying part of the property away. Therefore, if the subject property is held jointly by husband and wife, both of them must sign PennDOT documents. A tenancy by the entirety includes the right of survivorship. Upon the death of one spouse the survivor becomes the 3 sole owner of the entirety property. You must provide proof of death of the deceased spouse. EXAMPLE: John Doggett and Barbara Doggett jointly own real property. John Doggett dies. Barbara Doggett becomes the sole owner of the real property. CORRECT: Made on January 1, 2007, by Barbara Doggett, widow. INCORRECT: Made on January 1, 2007, by John Doggett, deceased, and Barbara Doggett, widow. EXAMPLE: John Doggett and Barbara Doggett owned real property as tenants in common with Monica Reyes. John and Barbara held a 50% interest and Monica held a 50% interest. John died. Barbara became the sole owner of the 50% interests that she held as tenancies by the entireties with John. Barbara and Monica now each hold a 50% interest in the real property as tenants in common. If the record owner is married but his or her spouse is not a record owner, the spouse is not required to sign PennDOT documents. It is also not necessary to name the spouse in the acquisition documents. 1.02 DIVORCED INDIVIDUALS If the record owners have divorced since acquiring the property and have not entered into a property settlement 4 agreement, they are now tenants in common. Both ex-spouses must sign PennDOT documents. If the divorced record owners entered into a property settlement agreement in which one person conveyed all of his or her interest in the property to the other, the person to whom the interest was conveyed may execute PennDOT documents alone, even if there is no new deed reflecting the transfer. The being clause should be written as follows: “Being a portion of the property conveyed or devised to the SELLER by a Property Settlement Agreement dated ___________, recorded in n/a.” 1.03 MULTIPLE INDIVIDUAL OWNERS Unmarried individuals may own property as tenants in common or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. All record owners must execute PennDOT documents. If a tenant in common dies, his or her interest in the property passes to that person’s devisees (if there was a will) or heirs (if there was no will). If two or more persons own the property as tenants in common and one of them dies, the deceased’s interest in the property does not automatically vest in the remaining owners. The deceased’s share is devised by his or her will or passes to his or her heirs according to the intestacy statute. If a joint tenant with the right of survivorship dies, all of his or her interest in the property automatically vests in the person who holds the

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de Documents de la UAB 4.5.1 Los abducidos: El duro retorno En Expediente X se duda de si las abducciones son obra de humanos o de extraterrestres por lo menos hasta el momento en que Mulder es abducido al final de la Temporada 7. La duda hace que el encuentro con otras personas que dicen haber sido abducidas siempre tenga relevancia para Mulder, Scully o ambos, como se puede ver con claridad en el caso de Cassandra Spender. Hasta que él mismo es abducido se da la paradójica situación de que quien cree en la posibilidad de la abducción es él mientras que Scully, abducida en la Temporada 2, siempre duda de quién la secuestró, convenciéndose de que los extraterrestres son responsables sólo cuando su compañero desaparece (y no necesariamente en referencia a su propio rapto). En cualquier caso poco importa en el fondo si el abducido ha sido víctima de sus congéneres humanos o de alienígenas porque en todos los casos él o ella cree –con la singular excepción de Scully– que sus raptores no son de este mundo. Como Leslie Jones nos recuerda, las historias de abducción de la vida real que han inspirado este aspecto de Expediente X “expresan una nueva creencia, tal vez un nuevo temor: a través de la experimentación sin emociones realizada por los alienígenas usando cuerpos humanos adquiridos por la fuerza, se demuestra que el hombre pertenece a la naturaleza, mientras que los extraterrestres habitan una especie de supercultura.” (Jones 94).

  • Citas X-Files Paper Esse
    Oblique Politics: The Conspiracy Theory at the Heart of The X-Files Sara Martín, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Seminar “Popular Narratives and Contemporary Worlds” 7th Conference European Society for the Study of English (ESSE) Universidad de Zaragoza 2004 Along 9 seasons (1993-2002) The X-Files has charmed its audience with a convoluted narrative dealing with the efforts of plucky FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully to unmask a vast conspiracy. This will result in the invasion of planet Earth in the year 2012 by extraterrestrial aliens of unknown origin. This serial within the series, which spans about one third of The X-Files and was dubbed the ‘mythology’ by producer Chris Carter, reached thus a devastating end. The hero and his partner were left stranded outside the already infiltrated FBI, resigned to facing the future only with the dimmest hope that they might resist the aliens’ plans. The ‘mythology’ is a classic conspiracy theory narrative and, as such, it unfolds imitating strip-tease dancers, slowly unveiling for the heroes’ and the audience’s benefit the ‘truth’ behind the gargantuan lies. As happens in all narratives of this subgenre, the hero begins a quest soon stumbling upon obstacles that make him doubt the steps taken so far and even the very reason for his quest –only to hit on a much larger, sinister truth. Thus, convinced that his little sister Samantha was abducted by extraterrestrials, Mulder discovers with Scully’s help that she’s part of a project begun in 1947 when contact was made with the aliens that crashed-landed in Roswell.

  • Dana Scully: La Heroína Limitada
    (d) DANA SCULLY: LA HEROÍNA LIMITADA SARA MARTÍN ALEGRE Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Dana Scully fue durante 9 temporadas (1993-2002) co-protagonista de una de las series de mayor impacto en la televisión mundial, Expediente X, creada por Chris Carter para Fox TV. El éxito de la serie se debió principalmente a la singular presencia de lo fantástico en los casos investigados por Scully y su compañero en el FBI, el Agente Especial Fox Mulder, tanto en los episodios sueltos como en la mitología de la serie, una densa trama que narra una alambicada conspiración para favorecer la inminente invasión extraterrestre de nuestro planeta. El otro gran factor en que se apoyó el éxito de la serie fue sin duda la especial química entre Mulder y Scully. “Duchovny y Anderson”, comentan Marin y Beals (1998) “no podían ser más distintos ni menos parecidos a sus personajes [....] Lo que los dos actores tienen en común es su inusual atractivo erótico. Ambos protagonizan numerosas fantasías pornográficas tanto en la red como fuera de ella”. Esta química atrajo a un numeroso público –especialmente femenino– pronto dividido entre quienes ansiaban ampliar el subtexto romántico en contra de los deseos de Chris Carter (los llamados ‘shippers’ por favorecer una relación o ‘relationship’) y quienes preferían que lo profesional no se mezclara con lo sentimental (los llamados ‘noromos’ por preferir un ‘no romance’). La mayor baza en juego era la caracterización de Dana Scully, ya que las discrepancias entre ambas tendencias se centraban en si sus deseos de ser madre, rasgo central del personaje, debían materializarse o no y así transformar a la pareja del FBI en familia.
